Frying Pans and Metal Chains: Rethinking the Body in Contemporary Art

Spanning six decades of artistic creation, this exhibition at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art examines how creators depict and interpret the physical human form. Featuring pieces made with everyday items like cookware, candy, and stockings, the display challenges conventional stereotypes. Works by artists including David Hammons, Simone Leigh, and Félix González-Torres focus on themes of labor, female presence, grief, and social activism.
